Monkey biz

It's been a crazy busy day. I've been flying from one place to another.
But I just had to pop in and give you a heads up.

The MONKEYS are coming.
I'm serious.
They'll be here soon.
And they are MARVELOUS.

Now for a name. You KNOW they have to have a name. It has to be good. It has to connect them somehow to Crazy as a Loom (I think). I am going to give you all two weeks to come up with a great one. I will choose on June 14th, and of course the winner will get their very own MONKEY.

The internet, and my blog, have found the perfect, crafty person to help make it happen. I can't believe how well it is working out.
More on that later.
Here are the pictures I just got.

Hi Hilary!I enjoy your blog. Busy working full time and caring for parents...but I like to peek in on you and your weaving and kayaks. How is your headache??? It is better?? Yes, I hope. Enjoy your blog! Donna

I'm making monkeys for my son's school charity fundraiser. I dressed one as a pirate with tricorn hat, eyepatch and frock coat and that one will hopefully be selling for more than pocket money prices (photo at woolforbrains dot net)

You need one Monkey for display purposes....Marvin Monkey and his Funky Monkey Pals...and give each monkey his or her name, Maynard, Missy, Malcolm, Mandy, ....etcdoesn't need to be all M names...was just using that as an example.They are some cute!Celia

I don't know why, but Disco Monkeys popped into my head when I saw the green and red ones. Might have been better if disco was popular when the psychodelic phase was going on in the '60s. The ones in the first picture look like Scandinavian winter sweaters! They are all amazing!

My favorite source for weaving yarn.

8/2 cotton from Georgia Yarn Co.

About Me

I am an 'older' woman, who refuses to get old. I think I am really twelve, and my family will often agree. I have found my passion in weaving, and have left one career to begin another. What? I don't have all the time in the world???
